Weight range
Your paraglider is certified for a stipulated weight range. If you fly the gli-
der outside this range, you are outside the operating limits of the equip-
ment. Therefore the paraglider does not conform to the flying charac-
teristics determined during the certification process – this means your
certification is no longer valid.
Within the recommended weight range, the IBEX 3 may be flown in three
different wing loading classes:
• Pleasure
– the optimal weight range for recreational pilots. In the
pleasure range the IBEX 3 offers a high degree of passive safety and
convinces with a very good climb rate. The wing loading is equivalent
to the one recommend for our standard paragliders. The pleasure
range is also suitable for new pilots.
• Hybrid
– more speed, more agility, but still good climbs in thermals.
Perfect for those who want more speed and agility but who do not
wish to compromise on climbing in thermals. Higher speed can be
useful in strong winds. The hybrid range is not suitable for new pilots.
• Fast
– perfect for those looking for a fast, light wing with good per-
formance. The fast range is reserved for experienced pilots who can
handle the agility of small wings. These pilots can enjoy a nimble,
playful wing.
The
pleasure
,
hybrid
and
fast
ranges are within the recommended take
off weight range. These ranges relate to the weight range we recommend
for a particular use. We recommend that new pilots only fly within the
pleasure
range.
Flying the IBEX 3
We recommend completing your first flights with your new wing in
calm conditions. This will give you the opportunity to get to know your
glider. Launches and ground handling on a training hill will also help to
familiarise yourself with the paraglider.
Basics
Risers and lines
The IBEX 3 is fitted with risers made from 12mm wide Kevlar tape. This
material offers a good combination of ease of use and light weight. The
brake lines and speed system are fitted with low friction rings. These
are also very light and produce very little friction.
